               The National Fire Data Center&apos;s  Topical Fire Report Series explores facets of the U.S. fire problem that affect Americans in their daily lives. Primarily  based on data collected through USFA&apos;s National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS), each issue briefly addresses the nature and relevance of the specific fire or fire-related problem, highlights important findings, and suggests other resources to consider for further information. Each topical report also includes recent examples of fire incidents that demonstrate some of the issues addressed in the report.<span class="footnote">Document description from <a href="http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/statistics/reports/tfrsv7.shtm">USFA TFRS website</a>.</span>
